Dr. Brad passed away unexpectedly today. After the decade of horrors, this might be the moment when I finally cut all mooring lines and float away forever.

If the people destroying the world are the same ones building the lifeboats, the lifeboats won’t save us.

Had a nice light therapy break (sat outside in direct sunlight for 20 minutes) today, and now my union's government affairs committee is settling in for more candidate endorsement interviews. Today's vibe has felt like "Until such time as the world ends, we will act as though it intends to spin on."

"Let me play the lion, too. I will roar that I will do anyone's heart good to hear me. I will roar that I will make H. Kits say, 'Let him roar again. Let him roar again!'"

omg everybody go draw a horse this is what the internet was made for gradient.horse

BREAKING: San Francisco public school teachers, counselors, and nurses have walked out on strike. 6,000 members of the United Educators of San Francisco are striking to fight for fully funded health care for their families and a raise to keep up with the Bay Area cost of living.

Benito is a threat b/c he makes art so alluring and enjoyable you want to understand everything about it and then you end up learning about sugar and slavery and colonialism and the Taínos and Hawaii and then you probably have some thoughts of your own, and that's why art is powerful and dangerous

Bad Bunny for Vanity Fair in 2023: “What I do, I do from my heart...I believe that every human being has the duty to have empathy for others, to help others, to respect them, to always try to contribute something to society, to bring a positive change.” www.vanityfair.com/style/2023/0...

I really can’t watch any of these ice flip videos without thinking about how a white man is being rewarded for accomplishing what a Black woman was punished for doing 30 years ago Surya Bonaly was an incredible athlete and she was treated like shit for it

You’ve seen the halftime show … now read my friend Petra’s new book from @dukepress.bsky.social about how Bad Bunny became the global voice of Puerto Rican resistance! 👏🏽👏🏽 www.dukeupress.edu/p-fkn-r

This sounds a lot like The Invisibles (1994–2000), specifically King Mob in his Gideon Stargrave persona.

"'Republican legislators don't want men in women's bathrooms and women in men's bathrooms,' said Jaelynn Abegg, one of the demonstration's organizers and a trans woman. 'So we're going to give it to them.'"

Ten years ago, I saw Chimes at Midnight on a big screen and went to a movie talk by Stephen Buhler, Ph.D. #OTD boxd.it/299k

Lord forgive me, but it's time to go back to the old me: Trying to get dudes on the Internet to say "patriarchy" about the Epstein files:

My latest: Applauding community defense is not enough. We are organizing resistance to a concentration camp regime. The front lines are everywhere. (Plus resources and my must-reads list!)

Someone please livestream this event directly into Jane Raybould's living room.

One of our administrators has a comfort dog – Nanook, a white Swiss shepherd – who visits the office from time to time. I saw him outside her office as I rounded a corner, set down the papers I was carrying, and sat on the floor with that sweetest baby for half an hour.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition. Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Unrepentant ghoulish fuckshit.

An ode to @ohrobin.bsky.social: While experimenting with rules in New Outlook, I triggered an Office 365 alert and received a direct tap from the Office of the CIO. (It was easier than begging the Exchange team to make structural changes – but I avoided airing that grievance.)

Fuck yeah!

My first non-fiction book since coming out is called DILF: DID I LEAVE FEMINISM, and it's out now. Here, it is in a box on my desk, but it CAN be in your hands and brain if you click here: bookshop.org/p/books/dilf...

If Starbucks won’t respect workers at the bargaining table, they don’t deserve our clicks or orders. Our call to action is simple: 📱 Delete the Starbucks app. #DeleteTheApp bit.ly/deletetheapp

NYC nurses, now in week 4 of their strike, are fighting for safe staffing ratios, better conditions for patients at underfunded hospitals like Montefiore in the Bronx, protections against workplace violence, and a say over how mgmt implements A.I. labornotes.org/blogs/2026/0... 3/3

We gotta come up with a better system than “everything rests on whether these twelve billionnaires are nice”

Jeff Bezos’s wealth has increased an average of $70 million every day of 2026, meaning that he could have offset The Post’s losses with what he’s made since Monday.

Not really following the Nebraska legislature this year because I no longer believe we have enough dignity to call ourselves a state. We should be forced to revert back to an Unorganized Territory

Put the film on my watchlist, reread this evocative piece for like the third time in a row, now floating through memory in time with that Belly song. The me you see now started to take shape then.

Without a major investment in publicly funded media or VERY well-funded worker-run collectives, we are all on a sinking ship. The problem is convincing the public that they're going down, too.

My friend and one of the co-authors of Read This When Things Fall Apart, Stevie Wilson, will be released from prison in less than a week. Stevie has done tremendous work as an incarcerated organizer and has plans to continue doing important work on the outside. Let's help him make a new start.

Pretty sure I broke the brains of half a dozen IT Applications Developers this afternoon. Not at all sorry about it.

A better media ecosystem is possible, but we need your help to build it

If you’re a reader, you should get a lot angrier about union busting at your favorite publications. Even and perhaps especially the “progressive” ones!

From the last time the Washington Post did something stupid, and why you should think twice before telling (ex-)WaPo journalists to "just start a newsletter". www.citationneeded.news/i-am-my-own-...

it can’t all just be substack, it simply cannot

oh my fucking god

Floored by this story. A man wrote a pollite email to a federal prosecutor objecting to the deportation of an Afghan seeking asylum. DHS responded with an administrative warrant to get the man's info from Google, then visited his home to intimidate him.

i don't particularly disagree with a lot of the critiques of anarchist activism by liberals but I bristle when they act as if their best practices are any wiser. we're here because none of us figured out how to avoid being here. everyone should have some goddamn humility.

My union's government affairs committee interviewed an engaging candidate. But I'm hung up on their answer to one question – my internal reaction was, "That's it?" There's time to dissect, but a letdown just the same.

This deal is incredible & it's for the best cause! You can get ALL the fiction by me and @charliejane.bsky.social from @humblebundle.com for a low, low price -- and all sales benefit the Miss Major Alexander L. Lee Black Trans Justice Center. www.humblebundle.com/books/charli...

I read this, and I almost regret it. What do you even do with the knowledge that Epstein wanted and was trying to engineer societal breakdown via far right populism bc he thought it would benefit his sex trafficking business?
